@MedBonnevie This is a really good compilation of the data @MedBonnevie! Would be really interesting to also see how those same studies sequenced strength + endurance training across a week; ie. concurrently, interspersed, recovery between etc. Fascinating subject for time crunched athletes.

@metrotrains @Bec_Halpin @metrotrains seriously, I’ve now watched 9 trains pass through with no room. I’ve been on the platform, two stops from work, for 58 minutes. Is this the service level your customers usually receive?

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@metrotrains do your “performance” stats take account of customers who can’t board the train they plan to take because of overcrowding? I’ve been at Kensington station with the same 80 people for 40mins as no less than 6 trains have passed through so far today no one can board.

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

I’ll save you the trouble. The 8 trains I’ve now watched come and go and collect no-one count as “delivered” and “punctual” services, although the provide no service at all to anyone here.

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@metrotrains Make that 7 trains. But don’t worry, my 48min wait has been nicely punctuated by the intercom system regularly reminding me that you’re running a good service on the line today. What does a bad service look like?

@cyclingvictoria @TACVictoria No TOSW in 2019?

@RockWalkLondon @leamnelson one of the great Rockband songs, surely your neighbours would agree?

@cyclingvictoria @PrestonCycC @GLBrown321 @holdencycling On the long weekend when half of your members are usually in Bright preparing for the Tour?

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@metrotrains The 51mins spent at Kensington waiting for one of your trains this morning has been well spent reflecting on why I usually ride to work 🙄

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@N_Squillari @FZAshni Who?

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@_LeeTurner @cyclingvictoria Well the “timing” put me 3mins down on the bunch, which is about 2 clear laps behind the winner. I actually came 4th. Money well spent.

[Sam Gifford @Giffsa]

@_LeeTurner @cyclingvictoria Suspect a $40 entry fee for a race with no prize money on a track we usually pay $20 to race on (with prize $) might also play a role

@CyclingAus @RohanDennis @BMCProTeam @luke_durbridge1 @MitcheltonSCOTT @richie_porte Podium photos but no results for the rest of the field, almost an hour after the finish. Unbelievable.

@lancearmstrong @cyclingtips Buddy, we can’t all wait for the moment when you decide to stop publishing stuff too. Pls move along.
